INTRODUCTION 


In offering the accompanying alphabetically arranged 
compilation of the United States Customs Tariff, Act of 
September 21, 1922, the publishers call attention to the fact 
that many of the articles comprised in the 20,000 items 
that the tariff specifies are not directly mentioned in the 
text of the tariff law. It is therefore necessary in deter¬ 
mining rates of duty on such articles to give due con¬ 
sideration to many Treasury Department rulings and 
business precedents in order to properly fix the rates of 
duty on the many articles embraced in the schedules of 
this volume. 

This publication contains an exact copy of the text of 
the Tariff Act, which is printed by schedules and para¬ 
graphs in the front pages. This is followed by an alpha¬ 
betical list of articles, which is the most distinctive part 
of the publication as it enables the prompt ascertainment 
of each article and the rate of duty applicable thereto. 
In all instances that require an explanatory reference, 
court and Treasury decisions are' given. 

Great care has been exercised in the preparation of this 
tariff, but owing to the extremely technical and com¬ 
plicated provisions which are open to many different 
judicial interpretations, the publishers cannot agree to 
accept any responsibility in the event of a discrepancy. 

Any doubtful question that may be of interest to the 
purchasers of this book should be referred to the pub¬ 
lishers, who will gladly consider and explain as fully as 
possible.

PAYMENT OF DUTIES. 


For importers who are not located at ports of entry, and 
for all others who desire it, we can pay duty at New York. 
Special arrangements regarding the advancing of duties 
can be made by corresponding with us at New York. 

Arrangements can be made with us for the payment of 
duty at any of the ports of entry in the United States 
where we have an agency. (See List of Agencies.) 

We can also provide for the payment of duties in the 
Dominion of Canada, and will furnish on application the 
rates of duty in that country. 

Goods can be entered in bond at New York and after¬ 
wards transported to Canada or any foreign country with¬ 
out payment of duty, or duty can be paid at any time; 
provided, however, no goods can remain in bond more than 
three years from the date of original importation. 


SUITS FOR RECOVERY OF DUTIES 
ILLEGALLY EXACTED. 


Particular attention is called to the fact that occasionally 
rates of duty are exacted by collectors of customs on vari¬ 
ous classes of merchandise that are, or are supposed to be, 
erroneous. In such cases we are at all times ready to 
have the exactions investigated, and, if there is a good 
foundation for a claim, we will have it tested in the courts 
at small cost to the importer. For this purpose we have 
constantly available the very best legal talent, and also 
keep ourselves well informed as to the various points 
arising under the tariff act. Our special knowledge is 
always at the disposal of our clients. 

Any further information on this subject we will be 
pleased to furnish on application.

DRAWBACK OF CUSTOMS DUTIES. 


Foreign Goods. 

When imported merchandise on which duties have been 
paid is exported directly from the custody of the govern¬ 
ment, the exporter is entitled to a drawback of the duties 
paid on such merchandise less 1 per centum; provided that 
the merchandise shall be exported in the condition in which 
imported within three years from the date of importation, 
that official custody thereof shall have been continuous, 
and that proper entry for exportation shall have been 
made. 

Articles of Domestic Manufacture. 

All articles made wholly from imported materials, and 
many articles made partly from such materials, are entitled 
on exportation to a drawback of the duties paid on the 
materials used in their manufacture, less one per centum 
of such duties. 

If any imported materials are used in the manufacture of 
an article made in part from domestic materials, and the 
imported materials or the parts made from such materials 
shall so appear in the completed article that the quantity 
or measure thereof may be ascertained, such article is en¬ 
titled on exportation to a drawback of the duties paid on 
the imported materials used, less one per centum of such 
duties. 

Such drawback is allowed under general and special reg¬ 
ulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. 

On the exportation of medicinal or toilet preparations 
(including perfumery) hereafter manufactured or produced 
in the United States in part from domestic alcohol on 
which an internal-revenue tax has been paid, there shall 
be allowed a drawback equal in amount to the tax found to 
have been paid on the alcohol so used. Such drawback 
shall be determined and paid under such rules and regu¬ 
lations, and upon the filing of such notices, bonds, bills 
of lading, and other evidence of payment of tax and ex- 




XXXV 


portation, as the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe. 

Before drawback can be paid on any article the Secretary 
of the Treasury must have information relative to the facts 
and conditions of the manufacture or production of the 
article, that he may determine whether it is covered by 
the terms of the law. If the article is entitled to draw¬ 
back, the Secretary must have full knowledge of kinds of 
materials used, process of manufacture, and wastage of 
material in such process, that he may prescribe the neces¬ 
sary special regulations governing inspection, ascertain¬ 
ment of quality, and rate of allowance. 

Our experience in securing the establishment of rates of 
allowance on articles not before placed on the drawback 
schedule has been such that we can confidently promise 
efficient service in the matter of securing new rates of 
allowance, and in having old rates revised when revision is 
made necessary by change in conditions or processes of 
manufacture. 

We have in our business a department in which ex¬ 
perienced employees give their attention exclusively to 
drawback matters. Our business connections at all fron¬ 
tier and seaboard ports of the country give us special 
advantages in collecting drawbacks on articles shipped 
frcm interior points. 

We offer the benefits of these advantages and of others 
incident to the great volume of our business to exporters 
generally. Our advantages enable us to reduce to the 
minimum the expenses of collecting drawback on “through 
shipments.” 

We purposely omit publishing a list of the articles on 
which a rate of drawback of duties may have been estab¬ 
lished. 

Drawbacks of duties are being constantly allowed on 
such a variety of articles that it is impossible for a pub¬ 
lication of this kind, which may be in use for some time, to 
give satisfactory information, as many new rates of draw¬ 
back on duties are likely to be established before another 
edition of this book is published. 



xxxvi 


We shall be glad to furnish information, free of charge 
upon application, to any purchaser of this tariff book con¬ 
cerning the latest rates of drawbacks of duties that may 
have been established, and will also undertake to give 
advice concerning the possible establishment of rates of 
drawback of duties on any imported goods that our friends 
or correspondents may be interested in.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHIPMENTS OF 
BONDED MERCHANDISE. 


1. Every package must be distinctly marked with name 

or shipping mark of Consignee, and bill of lading and 
invoice should bear the same marks as the goods. 

2. Every package must be distinctly marked “In Bond 

to.” (destination). 

3. If value of the merchandise is over $100 present four 

invoices to the U. S. Consul at point of shipment for 
certification. The Consul will return two copies. Pro¬ 
forma invoices only required when value is under $100. 

4. Mail immediately one certified invoice to R. F. Down¬ 

ing & Co., Inc., 47 Pearl Street, New York City, and 
the other to Consignee. 

5. Instruct the forwarding agent abroad to consign goods 

to R. F. Downing & Co., Inc., 47 Pearl Street, New 
York, and also insert on bill of lading “for transpor¬ 
tation in bond to.” (destination). 

6 . Instruct the forwarding agent abroad to mail a signed 

bill of lading to R. F. Downing & Co., Inc., 47 Pearl 
Street, New York, by steamer carrying the merchan¬ 
dise or by first mail steamer, and send all other docu¬ 
ments to the address of Consignee. 

Note:—If Consular Invoice and bill of lading do not reach 
R. F. Downing & Co., Inc., on the arrival of the goods 
at New York, the merchandise will be sent to general 
order warehouse by the Customs Authorities, thereby 
incurring considerable expense and delay. If the mer¬ 
chandise is to be sent forward in bond to an interior 
port without Customs examination at New York, we 
should be so notified and a detailed list of goods and 
values must be submitted.

strength for such dye or other article shall conform as 
nearly as practicable to the commercial strength in ordi¬ 
nary use; that if a dye or other article was or is ordi¬ 
narily used in more than one commercial strength, then 
the lowest commercial strength shall be adopted as the

part the growth or product of the United States and of 
like or similar articles wholly or in part the growth or 
product of competing foreign countries, shall find it 
thereby shown that the duties fixed in this Act do not 
equalize the said differences in costs of production in the 
United States and the principal competing country he 
shall, by such investigation, ascertain said differences and 
determine and proclaim the changes in classifications 
or increases or decreases in any rate of duty provided 
in this Act shown by said ascertained differences in such 
costs of production necessary to equalize the same. 
Thirty days after the date of such proclamation or proc¬ 
lamations such changes in classification shall take ef¬

the United States and of like or similar articles wholly 
or in part the growth or product of competing foreign 
countries, shall find it thereby shown that the duties pre¬ 
scribed in this Act do not equalize said differences, and

proceeding under the provisions of subdivision (a) of this 
section, he shall make such findings public, together with 
a description of the articles to which they apply, in such 
detail as may be necessary for the guidance of ap¬ 
praising officers. In such cases and upon the proclama¬ 
tion by the President becoming effective the ad valorem 
duty or duty based in whole or in part upon the value 
of the imported article in the country of exportation shall 
thereafter be based upon the American selling price, as 
defined in subdivision (f) of section 402 of this Act, of 
any similar competitive article manufactured or produced 
in the United States embraced within the class or kind 
of imported articles upon which the President has made 
a proclamation under subdivision (b) of this section. 

The ad valorem rate or rates of duty based upon such 
American selling price shall be the rate found, upon said 
investigation by the President, to be shown by the said 
differences in costs of production necessary to equalize such 
differences, but no such rate shall be decreased more

of Guam and Tutuila). If there is any imported article 
within the class or kind of articles, upon which the 
President has made public a finding, for which there is 
no similar competitive article manufactured or produced 
in the United States, the value of such imported article 
shall be determined under the provisions of paragraphs 
(1), (2), and (3) of subdivision (a) of section 402 of this 
Act. 

(c) That in ascertaining the differences in costs of 
production, under the provisions of subdivisions (a) and 
(b) of this section, the President, in so far as he finds 
it practicable, shall take into consideration (1) the dif¬ 
ferences in conditions in production, including wages, 
costs of material, and other items in costs of produc¬ 
tion of such or similar articles in the United States and 
in competing foreign countries; (2) the differences in 
the wholesale selling prices of domestic and foreign arti¬

investigation shall have been made. The commission 
shall give reasonable public notice of its hearings and 
shall give reasonable opportunity to parties interested 
to be present, to produce evidence, and to be heard. The 
commission is authorized to adopt such reasonable pro¬ 
cedure, rules, and regulations as it may deem necessary. 

The President, proceeding as hereinbefore provided for

in proclaiming rates of duty, shall, when he determines 
that it is shown that the differences in costs of produc¬ 
tion have changed or no longer exist which led to such 
proclamation, accordingly as so shown, modify or ter¬ 
minate the same. Nothing in this section shall be con¬ 
strued to authorize a transfer of an article from the du¬ 
tiable list to the free list or from the free list to the 
dutiable list, nor a change in form of duty. Whenever 
it is provided in any paragraph of Title I of this Act, 
that the duty or duties shall not exceed a specified ad 
valorem rate upon the articles provided for in such para¬ 
graph, no rate determined under the provision of this 
section upon such articles shall exceed the maximum ad 
valorem rate so specified. 

(d) For the purposes of this section any coal-tar prod¬ 
uct provided for in paragraphs 27 or 28 of Title I of this 
Act shall be considered similar to or competitive with 
any imported coal-tar product which accomplishes results 
substantially equal to those accomplished by the domestic 
product when used in substantially the same manner. 

(e) The President is authorized to make all needful 
rules and regulations for carrying out the provisions of 
this section. 

(f) The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to 
make such rules and regulations as he may deem neces¬ 
sary for the entry and declaration of imported articles of 
the class or kind of articles upon which the President 
has made a proclamation under the provisions of sub- 
division (b) of this section and for the form of invoice 
required at time of entry. 

Sec. 316. (a) That unfair methods of competition and 
unfair acts in the importation of articles into the United 
States, or in their sale by the owner, importer, consignee, 
or agent of either, the effect or tendency of which is to 
destroy or substantially injure an industry, efficiently and 
economically operated, in the United States, or to pre¬ 
vent the establishment of such an industry, or to restrain 
or monopolize trade and commerce in the United States, 
are hereby declared unlawful, and when found by the

other provisions of law, as hereinafter provided.

sions under this section the United States Tariff Com¬ 
mission is hereby authorized to investigate any alleged 
violation hereof on complaint under oath or upon its 
initiative. 

(c) That the commission shall make such investigation 
under and in accordance with such rules as it may 
promulgate and give such notice and afford such hearing, 
and when deemed proper by the commission such rehear¬ 
ing with opportunity to offer evidence, oral or written, 
as it may deem sufficient for a full presentation of the 
facts involved in such investigation; that the testimony 
in every such investigation shall be reduced to writing, 
and a transcript thereof with the findings and recommen¬ 
dation of the commission shall be the official record of 
the proceedings and findings in the case, and in any case 
where the findings in such investigation show a violation 
of this section, a copy of the findings shall be promptly 
mailed or delivered to the importer or consignee of such 
articles; that such findings, if supported by evidence, 
shall be conclusive, except that a rehearing may be 
granted by the commission, and except that, within such 
time after said findings are made and in such manner 
as appeals may be taken from decisions of the United 
States Board of General Appraisers, an appeal may be 
taken from said findings upon a question or questions 
of law only to the United States Court of Customs Ap¬ 
peals by the importer or consignee of such articles; that

finds that the public interest will be served thereby, by

ter from making formal entry of his vessel at the cus¬ 
tomhouse, as provided by this Act. After the entry, pre¬

merchandise and the salvors of merchandise saved from 
a wreck at sea or on or along a coast of the United 
States may, for such purposes, be regarded as the con¬ 
signees. 

Sec. 484. Entry. —(a) Except as provided in sections 
490, 498, 552, and 553 and in subsection (d) of section 
315 of this Act, the consignee of imported merchandise 
shall make entry therefor either in person or by an agent 
authorized by him in writing under such regulations as 
the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe. Such entry 
shall be made at the customhouse within forty-eight hours, 
exclusive of Sundays and holidays, after the entry of the 
importing vessel or report of the vehicle, or after the 
arrival at the port of destination in the case of merchan¬ 
dise transported in bond, unless the collector authorizes 
in writing a longer time. 

(b) No merchandise shall be admitted to entry under 
the provisions of this section without the production of a 
certified invoice therefor, except that entry may be per¬ 
mitted if— 

(1) The collector is satisfied that the failure to produce 



186 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


such invoice is due to causes beyond the control of the 
person making entry; 

(2) Such person makes a verified declaration in writing 
that he is unable to produce such invoice and (A) files 
therewith a seller’s or shipper’s invoice, or (B) if he is 
not in possession of a seller’s or shipper’s invoice files 
therewith a statement of the value, or the price paid, in 
the form of an invoice; and 

(3) Such person gives a bond in a penal sum to be 
fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury for the production 
of such certified invoice within six months, and the pay¬ 
ment of the penal sum so fixed as liquidated damages in 
the event such invoice is not so produced. 

(c) The consignee shall produce the bill of lading at 
the time of making entry, except that 

(1) If the collector is satisfied that no bill of lading 
has been issued, the shipping receipt or other evidence 
satisfactory to the collector may be accepted in lieu 
thereof; and 

(2) The collector is authorized to permit entry and to 
release merchandise from customs custody without the 
production of the bill of lading if the person making such 
entry gives a bond satisfactory to the collector, in a sum 
equal to not less than one and one-half times the invoice 
value of the merchandise, to produce such bill of lading, 
to relieve the collector of all liability, to indemnify the 
collector against loss, to defend every action brought upon 
a claim for loss or damage, by reason of such release 
from customs custody or a failure to produce such bill 
of lading and to entitle any person injured by reason of 
such release from customs custody to sue on such bond 
in his own name, without making the collector a party 
thereto. Any person so injured by such release may sue 
on such bond to recover any damages so sustained by 
him. 

(d) Such entry shall be signed by the consignee, or his 
agent, and shall set forth such facts in regard to the 
importation as the Secretary of the Treasury may require 
for the purpose of assessing duties and to secure a proper 



ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


187 


examination, inspection, appraisement, and liquidation, 
and shall be accompanied by such invoices, bills of lad¬ 
ing, certificates and documents as are required by law 
and regulations promulgated thereunder. 

(e) The Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary 
of Commerce are authorized and directed to establish 
from time to time for statistical purposes an enumeration 
of articles in such detail as in their judgment may be 
necessary, comprehending all merchandise imported into 
the United States, and as a part of the entry there shall 
be attached thereto or included therein an accurate state¬ 
ment specifying, in terms of such detailed enumeration, 
the kinds and quantities of all merchandise imported and 
the value of the total quantity of each kind of article. 

(f) If any of the certificates or documents necessary 
to make entry of any part of merchandise arriving on 
one vessel or vehicle and consigned to one consignee 
have not arrived, such part may be entered subsequently, 
and notation of the packages or cases to be omitted from 
the original entry shall be made thereon. One or more 
packages arriving on one vessel or vehicle addressed for 
delivery to one person and imported in another package 
containing packages addressed for delivery to other per¬ 
sons may be separately entered, under such rules and 
regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury may pre¬ 
scribe. All other merchandise arriving on one vessel or 
vehicle and consigned to one consignee shall be included 
in one entry. 

(g) Under such regulations as the Secretary of the 
Treasury may prescribe, the collector or the appraiser 
may require a verified statement from the manufacturer 
or producer showing the cost of production of the im¬ 
ported merchandise, when necessary to the appraisement 
of such merchandise. 

Sec. 485. Declaration. —(a) Every consignee making an 
entry under the provisions of section 484 of this Act shall 
make and file therewith, in a form to be prescribed by the 
Secretary of the Treasury, a declaration under oath, 
stating— 



188 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


(1) Whether the merchandise is imported in pursuance 
of a purchase or an agreement to purchase, or whether 
it is imported otherwise than in pursuance of a purchase 
or agreement to purchase; 

(2) That the prices set forth in the invoice are true, in 
the case of merchandise purchased or agreed to he pur¬ 
chased; or in the case of merchandise secured otherwise 
than by purchase or agreement to purchase, that the 
statements in such invoice as to foreign value are true 
to the best of his knowledge and belief; 

(3) That all other statements in the invoice or other 
documents filed with the entry, or in the entry itself, 
are true and correct; and 

(4) That he will produce at once to the collector any 
invoice, paper, letter, document, or information received 
showing that any such prices or statements are not true 
or correct. 

(b) The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to pre¬ 
scribe regulations for one declaration in the case of books, 
magazines, newspapers, and periodicals published and im¬ 
ported in successive parts, numbers, or volumes, and en¬ 
titled to free entry. 

(c) In the event that an entry is made by an agent un¬ 
der the provisions of section 484 of this Act and such 
agent is not in possession of such declaration of the con¬ 
signee, such agent shall give a bond, in a form and of 
a penal sum prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, 
to produce such declaration. 

(d) A consignee shall not be liable for any additional 
or increased duties if (1) he declares at the time of 
entry that he is not the actual owner of the merchandise, 
(2) he furnishes the name and address of such owner, 
and (3) within ninety days from the date of entry he 
produces a declaration of such owner conditioned that 
he will pay all additional and increased duties, under such 
regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury may pre¬ 
scribe. Such owner shall possess all the rights of a 
consignee. 

(e) The Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe sepa- 



ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


189 


rate forms for the declaration in the case of merchan¬ 
dise which is imported in pursuance of a purchase or 
agreement to purchase and merchandise which is im¬ 
ported otherwise than in pursuance of a purchase or 
agreement to purchase. 

(f) Whenever such merchandise is consigned to a de¬ 
ceased person, or to an insolvent person who has assigned 
the same for the benefit of his creditors, the executor 
or administrator, or the assignee of such person or re¬ 
ceiver or trustee in bankruptcy, shall be considered as 
the consignee; when consigned to a partnership the dec¬ 
laration of one of the partners only shall be required, 
and when consigned to a corporation such declaration may 
be made by any officer of such corporation, or by any 
other person specifically authorized by the board of direc¬ 
tors of such corporation to make the same. 

Sec. 486. Bond.—Upon entry of any merchandise, none 
of which or a part only of which is sent to the public 
stores for inspection, examination, or appraisal, the con¬ 
signee shall give a bond, conditioned that he will produce 
all invoices, declarations, and other documents or papers 
required by law or regulations made in pursuance thereof 
upon the entry of imported merchandise; and that he 
will comply with all the requirements of the laws or 
regulations made in pursuance thereof relating to the 
importation and admission of such merchandise and will 
return to the collector, when demanded by such collector, 
not later than ten days after the appraiser’s report, such 
of the merchandise as was not sent to the public stores, 
and also will return to the collector, on demand by him, 
any and all merchandise found not to comply with the 
law and regulations governing its admission into the com¬ 
merce of the United States. Such bond shall be given in 
a form and in a penalty to be prescribed by the Secretary 
of the Treasury, the penalty thereof to be paid as liqui¬ 
dated damages: Provided, That instead of a bond upon 
each entry the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe 
a bond to be taken from any consignee to cover all im- 



90 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


portations entered by him within a period of one year 
from the date thereof. 

Sec. 487. The consignee, or his agent, may, at the time 
entry is made or at any time before the invoice or the 
merchandise has come under the observation of the ap¬ 
praiser for the purpose of appraisement, make such addi¬ 
tions in the entry to or such deductions from the cost or 
value given in the invoice as in his opinion may raise or 
lower the same to the value of such merchandise. 

Sec. 488. The collector within whose district any mer¬ 
chandise is entered shall cause such merchandise to be 
appraised. 

Sec. 489. Additional duties— If the final appraised value 
of any article of imported merchandise which is subject 
to an ad valorem rate of duty or to a duty based upon 
or regulated in any manner by the value thereof shall 
exceed the entered value, there shall be levied, collected, 
and paid, in addition to the duties imposed by law on such 
merchandise, an additional duty of 1 per centum of the 
total final appraised value thereof for each 1 per centum 
that such final appraised value exceeds the value declared 
in the entry. Such additional duty shall apply only to 
the particular article or articles in each invoice that are 
so advanced in value upon final appraisement and shall 
not be imposed upon any article upon which the amount 
of duty imposed by law on account of the final appraised 
value does not exceed the amount of duty that would be 
imposed if the final appraised value did not exceed the 
entered value, and shall be limited to 75 per centum of 
the final appraised value of such article or articles. Such 
additional duties shall not be construed to be penal and 
shall not be remitted nor payment thereof in any way 
avoided, except in the case of a manifest clerical error, 
upon the order of the Secretary of the Treasury, or in any 
case upon the finding of the Board of General Appraisers, 
upon a petition filed and supported by satisfactory evi¬ 
dence under such rules as the board may prescribe, that 
the entry of the merchandise at a less value than that 
returned upon final appraisement was without any inten- 




ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


191 


tion to defraud the revenue of the United States or to 
conceal or misrepresent the facts of the case or to de¬ 
ceive the appraiser as to the value of the merchandise. 
If the appraised value of any merchandise exceeds the 
value declared in the entry by more than 100 per centum, 
such entry shall be presumptively fraudulent, and the col¬ 
lector shall seize the whole case or package containing 
such merchandise and proceed as in case of forfeiture for 
violation of the customs laws; and in any legal proceed¬ 
ing other than a criminal prosecution that may result 
from such seizure, the undervaluation as shown by the 
appraisal shall be presumptive evidence of fraud, and the 
burden of proof shall be on the claimant to rebut the 
same, and forfeiture shall be adjudged unless he rebuts 
such presumption of fraud by sufficient evidence. 

Upon the making of such order or finding, the addi¬ 
tional duties shall be remitted or refunded, wholly or in 
part, and the entry shall be liquidated or reliquidated 
accordingly. Such additional duties shall not be refunded 
in case of exportation of the merchandise, nor shall they 
be subject to the benefit of drawback. All additional du¬ 
ties, penalties, or forfeitures applicable to merchandise 
entered in connection with a certified invoice shall be 
alike applicable to merchandise entered in connection 
with a seller’s or shipper’s invoice or statement in the 
form of an invoice. Duties shall not, however, be assessed 
upon an amount less than the entered value, except in 
a case where the importer certifies at the time of entry 
that the entered value is higher than the value as defined 
in this Act, and that the goods are so entered in order 
to meet advances by the appraiser in similar cases then 
pending on appeal for reappraisement or re-reappraise¬ 
ment, and the importer’s contention in said pending cases 
shall subsequently be sustained, wholly or in part, by a 
final decision on reappraisement or re-reappraisement, 
and it shall appear that the action of the importer on 
entry was so taken in good faith, after due diligence and 
inquiry on his part, and the collector shall liquidate the 
entry in accordance with the final appraisement. 



192 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


Sec. 490. Incomplete entry. —Whenever entry of any im¬ 
ported merchandise is not made within the time provided 
by law or the regulations prescribed by the Secretary 
of the Treasury, or whenever entry of such merchandise 
is incomplete because of failure to pay the estimated du¬ 
ties, or whenever, in the opinion of the collector, entry 
of such merchandise can not be made for want of proper 
documents or other cause, or whenever the collector be¬ 
lieves that any merchandise is not correctly and legally 
invoiced, he shall take the merchandise into his custody 
and send it to a bonded warehouse or public store, to 
be held at the risk and expense of the consignee until 
entry is made or completed and the proper documents 
are produced, or a bond given for their production. 

Sec. 491. Unclaimed goods.— If any merchandise of 
which possession has been taken by the collector shall 
remain in bonded warehouse or public store for one year 
without entry thereof having been made and the duties 
and charges thereon paid, such merchandise shall be ap¬ 
praised by the appraiser of merchandise and sold by the 
collector at public auction as abandoned to the Govern¬ 
ment, under such regulations as the Secretary of the 
Treasury shall prescribe. All gunpowder and other ex¬ 
plosive substances and merchandise liable to depreciation 
in value by damage, leakage, or other cause to such ex¬ 
tent that the proceeds of sale thereof may be insufficient 
to pay the duties, storage, and other charges, if permitted 
to remain in public store or bonded warehouse for a 
period of one year, may be sold forthwith, under such 
regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury may pre¬ 
scribe. 

Sec. 492. Merchandise abandoned or forfeited. —Except 
as provided in section 3369 of the Revised Statutes, as 
amended, any merchandise abandoned or forfeited to the 
Government under the preceding or any other provision 
of the customs laws, which is subject to internal revenue 
tax and which the collector shall be satisfied will not 
sell for a sufficient amount to pay such taxes, shall be 
forthwith destroyed under regulations to be prescribed by 




ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


193 


the Secretary of the Treasury, instead of being sold at 
auction. 

Sec. 493. Proceeds of sale. —The surplus of the proceeds 
of sales under section 491 of this Act, after the payment 
of storage charges, expenses, duties, and the satisfaction 
of any lien for freight, charges, or contribution in gen¬ 
eral average, shall be deposited by the collector in the 
Treasury of the United States, if claim therefor shall not 
be filed with the collector within ten days from the date 
of sale, and the sale of such merchandise shall exonerate 
the master of any vessel in which the merchandise was 
imported from all claims of the owner thereof, who shall 
nevertheless, on due proof of his interest, be entitled to 
receive from the Treasury the amount of any surplus of 
the proceeds of sale. 

Sec. 494. Expense of weighing, and so forth.—In all 
cases in which the invoice or entry does not state the 
weight, quantity, or measure of the merchandise, the ex¬ 
pense of ascertaining the same shall be collected from 
the consignee before its release from customs custody. 

Sec. 495. Partnership bond. —When any bond is required 
by law to be executed by any partnership for any purpose 
connected with the transaction of business at any cus¬ 
tomhouse, the execution of such bond by any member of 
such partnership shall bind the other partners in like 
manner and to the same extent as if such other partners 
had personally joined in the execution, and an action or 
suit may be instituted on such bond against all partners 
as if all had executed the same. 

Sec. 496. Examination of baggage. —The collector may 
cause an examination to be made of the baggage of any 
person arriving in the United States in order to ascertain 
what articles are contained therein and whether subject 
to duty, free of duty, or prohibited notwithstanding a 
declaration and entry therefor has been made. 

Sec. 497. Forfeiture. —Any article not included in the 
declaration and entry as made, and, before examination 
of the baggage was begun, not mentioned in writing by 
such person, if written declaration and entry was re- 



194 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


quired, or orally if written declaration and entry was not 
required, shall be subject to forfeiture and such person 
shall be liable to a penalty equal to the value of such 
article. 

Sec. 498. Entry under regulations. —(a) The Secretary 
of the Treasury is authorized to prescribe rules and regu¬ 
lations for the declaration and entry of— 

(1) Merchandise not exceeding $100 in value, including 
such merchandise imported through the mails; 

(2) Merchandise damaged by fire or marine casualty on 
the voyage of importation; 

(3) Merchandise recovered from a wrecked or stranded 
vessel; 

(4) Household effects used abroad and personal effects, 
not imported in pursuance of a purchase or agreement for 
purchase and not intended for sale; 

(5) Articles sent by persons in foreign countries as 
gifts to persons in the United States; 

(6) Articles carried on the person or contained in the 
baggage of a person arriving in the United States; 

(7) Tools of trade of a person arriving in the United 
States; 

(8) Personal effects of citizens of the United States 
who have died in a foreign country; 

(9) Merchandise within the provisions of sections 465 
and 466 of this Act at the first port of arrival; 

(10) Merchandise when in the opinion of the Secretary 
of the Treasury the value thereof can not be declared; 
and 

(11) Merchandise within the provisions of the Act en¬ 
titled “An Act to expedite the delivery of imported par¬ 
cels and packages, not exceeding $500 in value,” approved 
June 8, 1896. 

(b) The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to in¬ 
clude in such rules and regulations any of the provisions 
of section 484 or 485 of this Act. 

Sec. 499. Examination of merchandise. —Imported mer¬ 
chandise, required by law or regulations made in pursu¬ 
ance thereof to be inspected, examined, or appraised, shall 




ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


195 


not be delivered from customs custody, except as other¬ 
wise provided in this Act, until it has been inspected, ex¬ 
amined, or appraised and is reported by the appraiser to 
have been truly and correctly invoiced and found to com¬ 
ply with the requirements of the laws of the United 
States. The collector shall designate the packages or 
quantities covered by any invoice or entry which are to 
be opened and examined for the purpose of appraisement 
or otherwise and shall order such packages or quantities 
to be sent to the public stores or other places for such 
purpose. Not less than one package of every invoice 
and not less than one package of every ten packages of 
merchandise, shall be so designated unless the Secretary 
of the Treasury, from the character and description of 
the merchandise, is of the opinion that the examination 
of a less proportion of packages will amply protect the 
revenue and by special regulation permit a less number 
of packages to be examined. The collector or the ap¬ 
praiser may require such additional packages or quanti¬ 
ties as either of them may deem necessary. If any pack¬ 
age is found by the appraiser to contain any article not 
specified in the invoice and he reports to the collector 
that in his opinion such article was omitted from the 
invoice with fraudulent intent on the part of the seller, 
shipper, owner, or agent, the contents of the entire pack¬ 
age in which such article is found shall be liable to sei¬ 
zure, but if the appraiser reports that no such fraudulent 
intent is apparent then the value of said article shall be 
added to the entry and the duties thereon paid accord¬ 
ingly. If a deficiency is found in quantity, weight, or 
measure in the examination of any package, report 
thereof shall be made to the collector, who shall make 
allowance therefor in the liquidation of duties. 

Sec. 500. Duties of the appraiser, assistant appraiser, 
and examiner. — (a) It shall be the duty of the appraiser 
under such rules and regulations as the Secretary of the 
Treasury may prescribe— 

(1) To appraise the merchandise in the unit of quan¬ 
tity in which the merchandise is usually bought and sold 



196 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


by ascertaining or estimating the value thereof by all 
reasonable ways and means in his power, any statement 
of cost or cost of production in any invoice, affidavit, 
declaration, or other document to the contrary notwith¬ 
standing; 

(2) To ascertain the number of yards, parcels, or quan¬ 
tities of the merchandise ordered or designated for exami¬ 
nation ; 

(3) To ascertain whether the merchandise has been 
truly and correctly invoiced; 

(4) To describe the merchandise in order that the col¬ 
lector may determine the dutiable classification thereof; 
and 

(5) To report his decisions to the collector. 

(b) At ports where there are assistant appraisers pro¬ 
vided for by law the appraiser shall have power to review 
and to revise and correct the reports of such assistant 
appraisers. 

(c) It shall be the duty of an assistant appraiser— 

(1) To examine and inspect such merchandise as the 
appraiser may direct, and to report to him the value 
thereof; 

(2) To revise and correct the reports and to supervise 
and direct the work of such examiners and other em¬ 
ployees as the appraiser may designate; and 

(3) To assist the appraiser, under such regulations as 
the Secretary of the Treasury or the appraiser may pre¬ 
scribe. 

(d) It shall be the duty of an examiner to examine and 
inspect the merchandise and report the value and such 
other facts as the appraiser may require in his appraise¬ 
ment or report, and to perform such other duties as may 
be prescribed by rules and regulations of the Secretary 
of the Treasury or the appraiser. 

(e) The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to des¬ 
ignate an officer of the customs as acting appraiser at a 
port where there is no appraiser. Such acting appraiser 
shall take the oath, perform all the duties, and possess 
all the powers of an appraiser. 



ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


197 


Sec. 501. Reappraisement. —The decision of the ap¬ 
praiser shall be final and conclusive upon all parties un¬ 
less a written appeal for a reappraisement is filed with 
or mailed to the Board of General Appraisers by the col¬ 
lector within sixty days after the date of the appraiser’s 
report, or filed by the consignee, or his agent, with the 
collector within ten days after the date of personal de¬ 
livery, or if mailed the date of mailing of written notice 
of appraisement to the consignee, his agent, or his attor¬ 
ney. No such appeal filed by the consignee, or his agent, 
shall be deemed valid, unless he has complied with all 
the provisions of this Act relating to the entry and ap¬ 
praisement of such merchandise. Every such appeal shall 
be transmitted with the entry and the accompanying 
papers by the collector to the Board of General Appraisers 
and shall be assigned to one of the general appraisers, 
who shall ascertain and return the value of the merchan¬ 
dise and shall give reasonable notice to the importer and 
to the person designated to represent the Government in 
such proceedings of the time and place of the hearing, at 
which the parties and their attorneys shall have an op¬ 
portunity to introduce evidence and to hear and cross- 
examine the witnesses of the other party and to inspect 
all samples and all papers admitted or offered as evidence. 
In finding such value affidavits* of persons whose attend¬ 
ance can not reasonably be had, price lists, catalogues, 
reports or depositions of consuls, special agents, collec¬ 
tors, appraisers, assistant appraisers, examiners, and other 
officers of the Government may be considered. Copies of 
official documents, when certified by an official duly au¬ 
thorized by the Secretary of the Treasury, may be ad¬ 
mitted in evidence with the same force and effect as 
original documents. 

The decision of the general appraiser, after argument 
on the part of the interested parties if requested by them 
or by either of them, shall be final and conclusive upon 
all parties unless within ten days from the date of the 
filing of the decision with the collector an application for 
its review shall be filed with or mailed to said board by 



198 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


the collector or other person authorized by the Secre¬ 
tary of the Treasury, and a copy of such application 
mailed to the consignee, or his agent or attorney, or filed 
by the consignee, or his agent or attorney, with the col¬ 
lector, by whom the same shall be forthwith forwarded 
to the Board of General Appraisers. Every such applica¬ 
tion shall be assigned by the Board of General Appraisers 
to a board of three general appraisers, who shall consider 
the case upon the samples of the merchandise, if there 
be any, and the record made before the general appraiser, 
and, after argument on the part of the parties if requested 
by them or either of them, shall affirm, reverse, or modify 
the decision of the general appraiser or remand the case 
to the general appraiser for further proceedings, and shall 
state its action in a written decision, to be forwarded to 
the collector, setting forth the facts upon which the find¬ 
ing is based and the reasons therefor. The decision of 
the Board of General Appraisers shall be final and con¬ 
clusive upon all parties unless an appeal shall be taken 
by either party to the Court of Customs Appeals upon a 
question or questions of law only within the time and in 
the manner provided by section 198 of an Act entitled 
“An Act to codify, revise, and amend the laws relating 
to the judiciary,” approved March 3, 1911. 

Sec. 502. Regulations for appraisement and classifica¬ 
tion. — (a) The Secretary of the Treasury shall establish 
and promulgate- such rules and regulations not inconsis¬ 
tent with the law, and may disseminate such information 
as may be necessary to secure a just, impartial, and uni¬ 
form appraisement of imported merchandise and the 
classification and assessment of duties thereon at the 
various ports of entry, and may direct any appraiser, 
deputy appraiser, assistant appraiser, or examiner of mer¬ 
chandise to go from one port of entry to another for 
the purpose of appraising or assisting in appraising mer¬ 
chandise imported at such port. 

(b) No ruling or decision once made by the Secretary 
of the Treasury, giving construction to any law imposing 
customs duties, shall be reversed or modified adversely 



ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


m 


to the United States, by the same or a succeeding Sec¬ 
retary, except in concurrence with an opinion of the 
Attorney General recommending the same, or a final de¬ 
cision of the Board of General Appraisers. 

(c) It shall be the duty of all officers of the customs 
to execute and carry into effect all instructions of the 
Secretary of the Treasury relative to the execution of 
the revenue laws; and in case any difficulty arises as to 
the true construction or meaning of any part of the reve¬ 
nue laws, the decision of the Secretary shall be binding 
upon all officers of the customs. 

Sec. 503. Dutiable value. —Whenever imported merchan¬ 
dise is subject to an ad valorem rate of duty or to a 
duty based upon or regulated in any manner by the value 
thereof, the duty shall be assessed upon the value re¬ 
turned by the appraiser, general appraiser, or Board of 
General Appraisers, as the case may be. If there shall 
be used for covering or holding imported merchandise, 
whether dutiable or free of duty, any unusual material, 
article, or form designed for use otherwise than in the 
bona fide transportation of such merchandise to the 
United States, additional duties shall be levied upon such 
material, article, or form at the rate or rates to which 
the same would be subjected if separately imported. 

Sec. 504. Payment of duties. —The consignee shall de¬ 
posit with the collector, at the time of making entry, 
unless the merchandise is entered for warehouse or trans¬ 
portation, or under bond, the amount of duty estimated 
to be payable thereon. Upon receipt of the appraiser’s 
report and of the various reports of landing, weight, 
gauge, or measurement, the collector shall ascertain, fix, 
and liquidate the rate and amount of duties to be paid 
5n such merchandise as provided by law and shall give 
notice of such liquidation in the form and manner pre¬ 
scribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and collect any 
increased or additional duties due or refund any excess 
of duties deposited as determined on such liquidation. 

Sec. 505. Abandonment and damage. —Allowance shall 
be made in the estimation and liquidation of duties under 



200 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury 
in the following cases: 

(1) Where the importer abandons, within ten days after 
entry, to the United States all or any portion amounting 
to 10 per centum or more of the total value or quantity 
of merchandise in any invoice, and delivers the portion 
so abandoned to such place as the collector directs unless 
the collector is satisfied that it is so far destroyed as to 
lie nondeliverable; 

(2) Where, at the time of importation, 5 per centum or 
more of the total value or quantity of fruit or other per¬ 
ishable merchandise in any invoice is decayed or injured 
so that its commercial value has been destroyed; 

(3) Where fruit or other perishable merchandise has 
been condemned at the port of entry, within ten days 
after landing, by the health officers or other legally con¬

be any allowance for draft or for impurities, other than 
excessive moisture and impurities not usually found in or 
upon such or similar merchandise. 

Sec. 507. Commingling of goods. —Whenever dutiable 
merchandise and merchandise which is free of duty or 
merchandise subject to different rates of duty are so 
packed together or mingled that the quantity or value 
of each class of such merchandise can not be readily 
ascertained by the customs officers, the whole of such 
merchandise shall be subject to the highest rate of duty 
applicable to any part thereof, unless the importer or 
consignee shall segregate such merchandise at his own 
risk and expense under customs supervision within ten 



ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


201 


days after entry thereof, in order that the quantity and 
value of each part or class thereof may be ascertained. 

Sec. 508. Examination of importer and others. —Collec¬ 
tors, appraisers, general appraisers, and boards of gen¬ 
eral appraisers may cite to appear before them or any of 
them and to examine upon oath, which said officers or

owner, importer, consignee, agent, or other person upon 
any matter or thing which they, or any of them, may 
deem material respecting any imported merchandise then 
under consideration or previously imported within one 
year, in ascertaining the classification or the value thereof 
or the rate or amount of duty; and they, or any of them, 
may require the production of any letters, accounts, con¬ 
tracts, invoices, or other documents relating to said mer¬ 
chandise, and may require such testimony to be reduced 
to writing, and when so taken it shall be filed and pre¬ 
served, under such rules as the Board of General Ap¬ 
praisers may prescribe, and such evidence may be given 
consideration in all subsequent proceedings relating to 
such merchandise.

swer, or shall refuse to answer in writing any interroga¬ 
tories, and subscribe his name to his deposition, or to 
produce such papers when so required by a general ap¬ 
praiser, or a board of general appraisers, or a local ap¬ 
praiser, or a collector, he shall be liable to a penalty 
of not less than $20 nor more than $500; and if such 
person be the owner, importer, or consignee, the ap¬ 
praisement last made of such merchandise, whether made 
by an appraiser, a general appraiser, or a board of gen¬ 
eral appraisers, shall be final and conclusive against such 
person; and any person who shall willfully and corruptly 
swear falsely on an examination before any general ap¬ 
praiser, or board of general appraisers, or local appraiser 
or collector, shall be deemed guilty of perjury; and if he

202 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


shall be forfeited or the value thereof may be recovered 
from him. 

Sec. 510. Inspection of exporter’s books. —If any person 
manufacturing, producing, selling, shipping, or consigning 
merchandise exported to the United States fails, at the 
request of the Secretary of the Treasury, or an appraiser, 
or person acting as appraiser, or a collector, or a general 
appraiser, or the Board of General Appraisers, as the case 
may be, to permit a duly accredited officer of the United 
States to inspect his books, papers, records, accounts, 
documents, or correspondence, pertaining to the market 
value or classification of such merchandise, then while 
such failure continues the Secretary of the Treasury, un¬ 
der regulations prescribed by him, (1) shall prohibit the, 
importation into the United States of merchandise manu¬ 
factured, produced, sold, shipped or consigned by such 
person, and (2) may instruct the collectors to withhold 
delivery of merchandise manufactured, produced, sold, 
shipped or consigned by such person. If such failure con¬

instructions the collector shall cause the merchandise, un¬ 
less previously exported, to be sold at public auction as 
in the case of forfeited merchandise. 

Sec. 511. Inspection of importer’s books. —If any per¬

or the Board of General Appraisers, as the case may be, 
to permit a duly accredited officer of the United States 
to inspect his books, papers, records, accounts, documents, 
or correspondence, pertaining to the value or classification 
of such merchandise, then while such failure continues 
the Secretary of the Treasury, under regulations pre¬ 
scribed by him, (1) shall prohibit the importation of mer¬ 
chandise into the United States by or for the account of 
such person, and (2) shall instruct the collectors to with¬ 
hold delivery of merchandise imported by or for the 
account of such person. If such failure continues for a 



ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


20? 


period of one year from the date of such instructions the 
collector shall cause the merchandise, unless previously 
exported, to be sold at public auction as in the case of 
forfeited merchandise. 

Sec. 512. Deposit of duties. —All moneys paid to any col¬ 
lector for unascertained duties or for duties paid under 
protest against the rate or amount of duties charged shall 
be deposited to the credit of the Treasurer of the United 
States and shall not be held by the collectors to await 
any ascertainment of duties or the result of any litigation 
in relation to the rate or amount of duties legally charge¬ 
able and collectible in any case where money is so paid. 

Sec. 513. Collector’s immunity. —No collector or other 
customs officer shall be in any way liable to any owner, 
importer, consignee, or agent or any other person for 
or on account of any rulings or decisions as to the ap¬ 
praisement or the classification of any imported merchan¬ 
dise or the duties charged thereon, or the collection of 
any dues, charges, or duties on or on account of said

said owner, importer, consignee, or agent might under 
this Act be entitled to protest or appeal from the deci¬ 
sion of such collector or other officer. 

Sec. 514. Protest. —All decisions of the collector, in¬ 
cluding the legality of all orders and findings entering 
into the same, as to the rate and amount of duties charge¬ 
able, and as to all exactions of whatever character (within 
the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Treasury), and his 
decisions excluding any merchandise from entry or de¬ 
livery, under any provision of the customs revenue laws, 
and his liquidation of any entry, or refusal to pay any 
claim for drawback, or his refusal to reliquidate any 
entry for a clerical error discovered within one year after 
the date of entry, or within sixty days after liquidation 
when liquidation is made more than ten months after the 
date of entry, shall be final and conclusive upon all 
persons, unless the importer, consignee, or agent of the 
person paying such charge or exaction, or filing such 
claim for drawback, or seeking such entry or delivery, 



204 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


shall, within sixty days after, but not before such liqui¬ 
dation or decision, as well in cases of merchandise en¬ 
tered in bond as for consumption, file a protest in writing 
with the collector setting forth distinctly and specifically, 
and in respect to each entry, payment, claim, or decision, 
the reasons for the objection thereto, and if the merchan¬ 
dise is entered for consumption shall pay the full amount 
of duties, charges, and exactions ascertained to be due 
thereon. Under such rules as the Board of General Ap¬ 
praisers may prescribe, and in its discretion, a protest 
may be amended at any time prior to the first docket 
call thereof. 

Sec. 515. Same. —Upon the filing of such protest and 
payment of duties and other charges the collector shall 
within sixty days thereafter review his decision, and may 
modify the same in whole or in part and thereafter refund 
any duties, charge, or exaction found to have been col¬ 
lected in excess, or pay any drawback found due, of which 
notice shall be given as in the case of the original liqui¬ 
dation, and against which protest may be filed within 
the same time and in the same manner and under the 
same conditions as against the original liquidation or 
decision. If the collector shall, upon such review, affirm 
his original decision, or, upon the filing of a protest 
against his modification of any decision, the collector 
shall forthwith transmit the entry and the accompanying 
papers, and all the exhibits connected therewith, to the 
Board of General Appraisers for due assignment and de¬ 
termination, as provided by law. Such determination 
shall be final and conclusive upon all persons, and the 
papers transmitted shall be returned, with the decision 
and judgment order thereon, to the collector, who shall 
take action accordingly, except in cases in which an ap¬ 
peal shall be filed in the United States Court of Customs 
Appeals within the time and in the manner provided by 
law. 

Sec. 516. Appeal or protest by American producers.— 

(a) Whenever an American manufacturer, producer, or 
wholesaler believes that the appraised value of any im- 



ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


205 


ported merchandise of a class or kind manufactured, pro¬ 
duced, or sold at wholesale by him is too low, he may file 
with the Secretary of the Treasury a complaint setting 
forth the value at which he believes the merchandise 
should be appraised and the facts upon which he bases 
his belief. The Secretary shall thereupon transmit a copy 
of such complaint to the appraiser at each port of entry 
where the merchandise is usually imported. Until other¬ 
wise directed by the Secretary, the appraiser shall re¬ 
port each subsequent importation of the merchandise giv¬ 
ing the entry number, the name of the importer, the 
appraised value, and his reasons for the appraisement. 
If the Secretary does not agree with the action of the 
appraiser, he shall instruct the collector to file an appeal 
for a reappraisement as provided in section 501 of this 
Act, and such manufacturer, producer, or wholesaler shall 
have the right to appear and to he heard as a party in 
interest under such rules as the Board of General Ap¬ 
praisers may prescribe. The Secretary shall notify such 
manufacturer, producer, or wholesaler of the action taken 
by such appraiser giving the port of entry, the entry num¬ 
ber, and the appraised value of such merchandise and the 
action he has taken thereon. If the appraiser advances 
the entered value of merchandise upon the information 
furnished by the American manufacturer, producer, or 
wholesaler, and an appeal is taken by the consignee, such 
manufacturer, producer, or wholesaler shall have the 
right to appear and to be heard as a party in interest, 
under such rules as the Board of General Appraisers may 
prescribe. If the American manufacturer, producer, or 
wholesaler is not satisfied with the action of the Secre¬ 
tary, or the action of the appraiser thereon, he may file, 
within ten days after the date of the mailing of the 
Secretary’s notice, an appeal for a reappraisement in 
the same manner and with the same effect as an appeal 
by a consignee under the provisions of section 501 of 
this Act. 

(b) The Secretary of the Treasury shall, upon written 
request by an American manufacturer, producer, or whole- 



206 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


saler, furnish the classification of and the rate of duty, if 
any, imposed upon designated imported merchandise of a 
class or kind manufactured, produced, or sold at whole¬ 
sale by him. If such manufacturer, producer, or whole¬ 
saler believes that the proper rate of duty is not being 
assessed, he may file a complaint with the Secretary of 
the Treasury setting forth a description of the merchan¬ 
dise, the classification, and the rate or rates of duty he 
believes proper, and the reasons for his belief. If the 
Secretary believes that the classification of or rate of 
duty assessed upon the merchandise is not correct, he 
shall notify the collectors as to the proper classification 
and rate of duty and shall so inform such manufacturer, 
producer, or wholesaler, and such rate of duty shall be 
assessed upon all merchandise imported or withdrawn 
from warehouse after thirty days after the date of such 
notice to the collectors. If the Secretary believes that 
the classification and rate of duty are correct, he shall 
so inform such manufacturer, producer, or wholesaler. If 
dissatisfied with the action of the Secretary, such manu¬ 
facturer, producer, or wholesaler may file with him a 
notice that he desires to protest the classification or the 
rate of duty imposed upon the merchandise, and upon 
receipt of such notice the Secretary shall furnish him 
with such information as to the entry, the consignee, and 
the port of entry as will enable him to protest the classifi¬ 
cation of or the rate of duty imposed upon the merchan¬ 
dise when liquidated at any port of entry. Upon written 
request therefor by such manufacturer, producer, or 
wholesaler, the collector of such port of entry shall notify 
him immediately of the date of liquidation. Such manu¬ 
facturer, producer, or wholesaler may file, within sixty 
days after the date of liquidation, with the collector of 
such port a protest in writing setting forth a description 
of the merchandise and the classification and the rate 
of duty he believes proper, with the same effect as a 
protest of a consignee filed under the provisions of sec¬ 
tions 514 and 515 of this Act. 

(c) A copy of every appeal and every protest filed by 



ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


207 


an American manufacturer, producer, or wholesaler un¬ 
der the provisions of this section shall be mailed by the 
collector to the consignee or his agent within five days 
after the filing thereof, and such consignee or his agent 
shall have the right to appear and to be heard as a party 
in interest before the Board of General Appraisers. The 
collector shall transmit the entry and all papers and ex¬ 
hibits accompanying or connected therewith to the Board 
of General Appraisers for due assignment and determina¬ 
tion of the proper value or of the proper classification 
and rate of duty. The decision of the Board of General 
Appraisers upon any such appeal or protest shall be final 
and conclusive upon all parties unless an appeal is taken 
by either party to the Court of Customs Appeals, as 
provided in sections 501 and 515 of this Act. 

(d) In proceedings instituted under the provisions of 
this section an American manufacturer, producer, or 
wholesaler shall not have the right to inspect any docu¬ 
ments or papers of the consignee or importer disclosing 
any information which the general appraiser or the Board 
of General Appraisers shall deem unnecessary or im¬ 
proper to be disclosed to him. 

Sec. 517. Frivolous protest or appeal. —Upon motion of 
the counsel for the Government, it shall be the duty of 
the Board of General Appraisers to decide whether any 
appeal for reappraisement or protest filed under the pro¬ 
visions of sections 501, 514, 515, or 516 of this Act is 
frivolous, and if said board shall so decide, a penalty of 
not less than $5 nor more than $250 shall be assessed 
against the person filing such appeal for reappraisement 
or protest: Provided, That all appeals for reappraise¬ 
ment or protests filed by the same person and raising 
the same issue shall, if held frivolous by said board, be 
consolidated and deemed one proceeding for the purpose 
of imposing the penalty provided in this section: Pro¬ 
vided further, That the person against whom such penalty 
is assessed may have a review by the Court of Customs 
Appeals of the decision of said board by filing an appeal 
in said court within the time and in the manner provided 




208

vise, and amend the laws relating to the judiciary,” 
approved March 3, 1911. 

Sec. 518. Board of General Appraisers.—The Board of 
General Appraisers shall consist of nine members as now 
constituted, and all vacancies in said board shall be filled 
by appointment by the President, by and with the advice 
and consent of the Senate, not more than five of whom 
shall be appointed from the same political party and each 
of whom shall receive a salary of $9,000 a year. They 
shall not engage in any other business, vocation, or em¬ 
ployment, and shall hold their office during good behavior, 
but may, after due hearing, be removed by the President 
for the following causes and no other: Neglect of duty, 
malfeasance in office, or inefficiency. The office of said 
board shall be at the port of New York, and the board 
and each member thereof shall have and posesss all the 
powers of a district court of the United States for pre¬ 
serving order, compelling the attendance of witnesses, 
the production of evidence, and in punishing for contempt. 
Said board shall have power to establish from time to 
time such rules of evidence, practice, and procedure, not 
inconsistent with law, as may be deemed necessary for 
the conduct of its proceedings, in securing uniformity in 
its decisions and in the proceedings and decisions of 
the members thereof, and for the production, care, and 
custody of samples and of the records of said board. 
One of the members of said board designated for that 
purpose by the President of the United States shall act 
as president of the Board of General Appraisers, and in 
his absence the member of the board then present who 
is senior as to the date of his commission shall act as 
president. The president of the board, or the acting 
president in his absence, shall have control of the fiscal 
affairs and of the clerical force of the board, making all 
recommendations for appointment, promotions, or other¬ 
wise affecting such clerical force; he may at any time 
before trial, under the rules of the said board, assign 
or reassign any case for hearing or determination, or 



ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


209 


both, and shall designate a general appraiser or board 
of three general appraisers and such clerical assistants 
as may be necessary to proceed to any port within the 
jurisdiction of the United States for the purpose of hear¬ 
ing or of hearing and determining cases assigned for 
hearing at such port, and shall cause to be prepared and 
promulgated dockets therefor. General appraisers, steno¬ 
graphic clerks, and Government counsel shall each be 
allowed and paid his necessary expenses of travel and his 
reasonable expenses, not to exceed $10 per day, in the 
case of general appraisers and Government counsel, and 
$8 per day in the case of stenographic clerks, actually 
incurred for maintenance while absent from New York on 
official business. Said general appraisers shall be divided 
into three boards of three members each for the purpose 
of hearing and deciding appeals for the review of re¬ 
appraisements of merchandise, and of hearing and decid¬ 
ing protests against decisions of collectors. A board of 
three general appraisers or a general appraiser shall 
have power to order an analysis of imported merchandise 
and reports thereon by laboratories or bureaus of the 
United States. The president of the board shall assign 
three of the general appraisers to each of the said boards 
and shall designate which member shall be chairman 
thereof. The president of the board shall be competent 
to sit as a member of any board or to assign one or two 
other members to any of such boards in the absence or 
disability of any one or two members of such board. A 
majority of any board shall have full power to hear and 
decide all cases and questions arising therein or assigned 
thereto. The board of three general appraisers deciding 
a case or a general appraiser deciding an appeal for a 
reappraisement may, upon the motion of either party 
made within thirty days next after such decision, grant 
a rehearing or retrial of said case when, in the opinion 
of said board or said general appraiser the ends of justice 
so require. 

The members of the Board of General Appraisers are 



210 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


hereby exempted from so much of section 1790 of the 
Revised Statutes as relates to their salaries. 

When any of the general appraisers of merchandise 
resigns his office, having held his commission as such 
at least ten years, and having attained the age of seventy 
years, he shall during the residue of his natural life re¬ 
ceive the same salary which was by law payable to him 
at the time of his resignation. 

Sec. 519. Record of decisions. —All decisions of the gen¬ 
eral appraisers shall be preserved and filed and shall be 
open to inspection, and it shall be the duty of the said 
Board of General Appraisers to forward a copy of each 
decision to the collector of customs for the district in 
which the merchandise affected thereby was imported 
and to forward an additional copy to the Secretary of 
the Treasury, who shall cause such decisions as he or 
the Board of General Appraisers shall deem sufficiently 
important to be published in full, or, if they shall not 
deem a full publication thereof necessary, then the board 
shall cause abstracts of such decisions to be made for 
publication, and such decisions and abstracts thereof shall 
be published from time to time and at least once each 
week for the information of customs officers and the 
public. 

Sec. 520. Refund of excessive duties.— (a) The Secre¬ 
tary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to refund du¬ 
ties and correct errors in liquidation of entries in the 
following cases: 

(1) Whenever it is ascertained on final liquidation or 
reliquidation of an entry that more money has been de¬ 
posited or paid than was required by law to be so de¬ 
posited or paid; 

(2) Whenever it is determined in the manner required 
by law that any fees, charges, or exactions, other than 
duties, have been erroneously collected; 

(3) Whenever a manifest clerical error is discovered 
in any entry or liquidation within one year after the date 
of entry, or within sixty days after liquidation when liqui- 




ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


211 


dation is made more than ten months after the date of 
entry; and 

(4) Whenever duties have been paid on household or 
personal effects which by law were not subject to duty, 
notwithstanding a protest was not filed within the time 
and in the manner prescribed by law. 

(b) The necessary moneys to make such refunds are 
hereby appropriated, and this appropriation shall be 
deemed a permanent and indefinite appropriation. 

Sec. 521. Reliquidation of duties. —Whenever any mer¬ 
chandise has been entered and passed free of duty, and 
whenever duties upon any imported merchandise have 
been liquidated and paid, and the merchandise has been 
delivered to the consignee, or his agent, such entry and 
passage free of duty and such settlement of duties shall, 
after the expiration of one year from the date of entry, 
or after the expiration of sixty days after the date of 
liquidation when liquidation is made more than ten 
months after the date of entry, in the absence of fraud 
and in the absence of protest by the consignee, or his 
agent, or by an American manufacturer, producer, or 
wholesaler, be final and conclusive upon all parties. If 
the collector finds probable cause to believe there is 
fraud in the case, he may reliquidate within two years 
after the date of entry, or after the date of liquidation 
when liquidation is made more than ten months after the 
date of entry. 

Sec. 522. Conversion of currency. —(a) That section 25 
of the Act of August 27, 1894, entitled “An Act to reduce 
taxation, to provide revenue for the Government, and for 
other purposes,” as amended, is reenacted without change 
as follows: 

“Sec. 25. That the value of foreign coin as expressed in 
the money of account of the United States shall be that 
of the pure metal of such coin of standard value; and 
the values of the standard coins in circulation of the 
various nations of the world shall be estimated quarterly 
by the Director of the Mint and be proclaimed by the 




212 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


Secretary of the Treasury quarterly on the 1st day of 
January, April, July, and October in each year.” 

(b) For the purpose of the assessment and collection 
of duties upon merchandise imported into the United 
States on or after the day of the enactment of this Act, 
wherever it is necessary to convert foreign currency into 
currency of the United States, such conversion, except 
as provided in subdivision (c), shall be made at the 
values proclaimed by the Secretary of the Treasury under 
the provisions of section 25 of such Act of August 27, 
1894, as amended, for the quarter in which the merchan¬ 
dise was exported. 

(c) If no such value has been proclaimed, or if the 
value so proclaimed varies by 5 per centum or more from 
a value measured by the buying rate in the New York 
market at noon on the day of exportation, conversion 
shall be made at a value measured by such buying rate. 
For the purposes of this subdivision such buying rate 
shall be the buying rate for cable transfers payable in 
the foreign currency so to be converted; and shall be 
determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York 
and certified daily to the Secretary of the Treasury, who 
shall make it public at such times and to such extent 
as he deems necessary. In ascertaining such buying rate 
such Federal Reserve bank may in its discretion (1) take 
into consideration the last ascertainable transactions and 
quotations, whether direct or through the exchange of 
other currencies, and (2) if there is no market buying 
rate for such cable transfers, calculate such rate from 
actual transactions and quotations in demand or time bills 
of exchange. 

Sec. 523. Comptrollers of Customs. —Naval officers of 
customs now in office and their successors shall hereafter 
be known as Comptrollers of Customs. 

Comptrollers of Customs shall examine the collector’s 
accounts of receipts and disbursements of money and re¬ 
ceipts and disposition of merchandise and certify the 
same to the Secretary of the Treasury for transmission 
to the General Accounting Office. They shall perform 



ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


213 


such other duties as the Secretary of the Treasury may 
from time to time prescribe, and their administrative 
examination shall extend to all customs districts assigned 
to them by the Secretary of the Treasury. 

Comptrollers of Customs shall verify all assessments of 
duties and allowances of drawbacks made by collectors 
in connection with the liquidation thereof. In cases of 
disagreement between a collector and a comptroller of 
customs, the latter shall report the facts to the Secretary 
of the Treasury for instructions. 

This section shall not be construed to affect the man¬ 
ner of appointment, the terms of office, or the compensa¬ 
tion of any such officer as now provided by law, nor 
to affect the provisions of the Budget and Accounting 
Act, 1921, approved June 10, 1921. 

Sec. 524. Receipts from reimbursable charges for labor, 
services, and other expenses, connected with the customs, 
shall be deposited as a refund to the appropriation from 
which paid, instead of being covered into the Treasury 
as miscellaneous receipts as provided by the Act entitled 
“An Act making appropriations for sundry civil expenses 
of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 
1908, and for other purposes,” approved March 4, 1907. 

Sec. 525. In connection with the enforcement of this 
Act, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to use 
in the District of Columbia not to exceed eight persons 
detailed from the field force of the Customs Service and 
paid from the appropriation for the expense of collecting 
the revenue from customs. 

Sec. 526. (a) That it shall be unlawful to import into 
the United States any merchandise of foreign manufac¬ 
ture if such merchandise, or the label, sign, print, pack¬ 
age, wrapper, or receptacle, bears a trade-mark owned by 
a citizen of, or by a corporation or association created 
or organized within, the United States, and registered 
in the Patent Office by a person domiciled in the United 
States, under the provisions of the Act entitled “An Act 
to authorize the registration of trade-marks used in com¬ 
merce with foreign nations or among the several States 



214 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


or with Indian tribes, and to protect the same,” approved 
February 20, 1905, as amended, if a copy of the certifi¬ 
cate of registration of such trade-mark is filed with the 
Secretary of the Treasury, in the manner provided in sec¬ 
tion 27 of such Act, and unless written consent of the 
owner of such trade-mark is produced at the time of 
making entry. 

(b) Any such merchandise imported into the United 
States in violation of the provisions of this section shall 
be subject to seizure and forfeiture for violation of the 
customs laws. 

(c) Any person dealing in any such merchandise may 
be enjoined from dealing therein within the United States 
or may be required to export or destroy such merchan¬ 
dise or to remove or obliterate such trade-mark and shall 
be liable for the same damages and profits provided for 
wrongful use of a trade-mark, under the provisions of 
such Act of February 20, 1905, as amended. 

Part 4.—Transportation in Bond and 
Warehousing of Merchandise. 

Sec. 551. Carrier. —Any common carrier of merchandise

sureties as may be approved by the Secretary of the 
Treasury, may be designated as a carrier of bonded mer¬ 
chandise for the final release of which from customs

necessary for the protection of the revenue, and shall 
specifically order the production of such certificate.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


217 


of perishable articles and explosive substances other than 
firecrackers, may be entered for warehousing and be de¬

of the owner, importer, or consignee. Such merchandise 
may be withdrawn, at any time within three years from 
the date of importation, for consumption upon payment 
of the duties and charges accruing thereon at the rate 
of duty imposed by law upon such merchandise at the 
date of withdrawal; or may be withdrawn for exportation 
or for transportation and exportation without the pay¬ 
ment of duties thereon, or for transportation and reware¬ 
housing at another port: Provided, That the total period 
of time for which such merchandise may remain in 
bonded warehouse shall not exceed three years. Merchan¬ 
dise upon which the duties have been paid and which

or otherwise in the custody and under the control of 
customs officers, may be entered or withdrawn at any 
time within three years after the date of importation 
for exportation, or for transportation and exportation, un¬ 
der such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury 
shall prescribe, and upon such entry or withdrawal, 99 
per centum of the duties thereon shall be refunded.

pense of the consignee, within the bonded period under

drawback of duty shall be allowed on the exportation of 
any merchandise after its release from the custody or

part from imported materials on which a drawback of 
duties is expressly provided for by law.

age of bonded merchandise: Provided, That no part of 
any premises owned or leased by the Government may be 
used for the storage of bonded merchandise at any port

charges shall be deposited and accounted for as customs 
receipts, and the rates therefor shall not be less than 
the charges for storage and similar services made at 
such port of entry by commercial concerns for the stor¬ 
age and handling of merchandise. No collector or other 
officer of the customs shall own, in whole or in part, any 
bonded warehouse or enter into any contract or agree¬ 
ment for the lease or use of any building to be there¬ 
after erected as a public store or warehouse. No lease 
of any building to be so used shall be taken for a longer 
period than three years, nor shall rent for any such prem¬ 
ises be paid, in whole or in part, in advance. 

Sec. 561. Public stores. —Any premises owned or leased

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


219

age; or, if in bulk, in the entire quantity imported or 
in a quantity not less than one ton weight. All mer¬ 
chandise so withdrawn shall be withdrawn in the original 
packages in which imported unless, upon the application 
of the importer, it appears to the collector that it is 
necessary to the safety or preservation of the merchan¬ 
dise to repack or transfer the same: Provided, That 
upon permission therefor being granted by the Secretary 
of the Treasury, and under customs supervision, at the 
expense of the proprietor, merchandise may be cleaned, 
sorted, repacked, or otherwise changed in condition, but 
not manufactured, in bonded warehouses established for 
that purpose and be withdrawn therefrom for exporta¬ 
tion, without payment of the duties, or for consumption, 
upon payment of the duties accruing thereon, in its con¬ 
dition at the time of withdrawal from warehouse. The 
scouring or carbonizing of wool shall not be considered 
a process of manufacture within the provisions of this 
section. 

Sec. 563. Allowance for loss—Abandonment. —In no case 
shall there be any abatement or allowance made in the 
duties for any injury, deterioration, loss, or damage sus¬ 
tained by any merchandise while remaining in a bonded 
warehouse: Provided, That upon the production of satis¬ 
factory proof to the Board of General Apraisers of actual 
injury or destruction, in whole or in part, of any mer¬ 
chandise, by accidental fire or other casualty, while in 
bonded warehouse, or in the appraiser’s stores undergoing- 
appraisal, or while in transportation under bond from one 
port to another, or while in the custody of the officers 
of the customs, although not in bond, or while within the 
limits of any port of entry, and before the same has been 
landed from the importing vessel or vehicle, such board 
is hereby authorized to order an abatement or refund, as 
the case may be, and the Secretary of the Treasury is 
authorized to pay, out of any moneys in the Treasury 
not otherwise appropriated, the amount of duties paid. 
Notice in writing shall be filed with the collector of the 



220 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


district in which such actual injury or destruction was 
sustained or occurred, and the collector shall transmit 
such notice together with all papers and documents to 
the board for due assignment and determination, and 
such determination shall be final and conclusive upon all 
persons interested therein except in cases where an ap¬ 
peal may be filed by either party in the United States 
Court of Customs Appeals within the time and in the man¬ 
ner provided by law: And provided further, That the 
consignee may, with the consent of the Secretary of the 
Treasury, at any time prior to three years from the date 
of original importation abandon to the Government any 
merchandise in bonded warehouse and be relieved of 
the payment of duties thereon: Provided, That the por¬ 
tion so abandoned shall not be less than an entire pack¬

out having been repacked while in bonded warehouse. 

Sec. 564. Liens. —That whenever a collector of customs 
shall be notified in writing of the existence of a lien

possession of by him, he shall refuse to permit delivery 
thereof from public store or bonded warehouse until proof 
shall be produced that the said lien has been satisfied 
or discharged. The rights of the United States shall not 
be prejudiced or affected by the filing of such lien, nor 
shall the United States or its officers be liable for losses 
or damages consequent upon such refusal to permit de¬ 
livery. If merchandise, regarding which such notice of 
lien has been filed, shall be forfeited or abandoned and 
sold, the freight, charges, or contribution in general aver¬ 
age due thereon shall be paid from the proceeds of such 
sale in the same manner as other lawful charges and ex¬ 
penses are paid therefrom. 

Sec. 565. Cartage. —The cartage of merchandise entered 
for warehouse shall be done by cartmen to be appointed 
and licensed by the collector of customs and who shall

amination at the appraiser’s stores and of merchandise 
taken into custody by the collector as unclaimed shall he 
performed by such persons as may be designated, under 
contract or otherwise, by the Secretary of the Treasury, 
and under such regulations for the protection of the 
owners thereof and of the revenue as the Secretary of 
the Treasury shall prescribe.

end to hail and stop such vessel or vehicle, if under way, 
and use all necessary force to compel compliance, and if 
it shall appear that any breach or violation of the laws 
of the United States has been committed, whereby or in 
consequence of which such vessel or vehicle, or the mer¬ 
chandise, or any part thereof, on board of or imported 
by such vessel or vehicle is liable to forfeiture, it shall be 
the duty of such officer to make seizure of the same, and 
to arrest, or, in case of escape or attempted escape, to

of the merchandise or other property in the manner pre¬ 
scribed by law. 

Sec. 609. Same—Sale. —If no such claim is filed or bond 
given within the twenty days hereinbefore specified, the 
Treasury may order such vessel, vehicle, merchandise, or

vessel, vehicle, merchandise, or baggage forfeited under 
the customs laws in the district in which seizure thereof 
was made be prohibited by the laws of the State in which 
such district is located, or if a sale may be made more 
advantageously in any other district, the Secretary of the 
Treasury may order such vessel, vehicle, merchandise, or 
baggage to be transferred for sale in any customs district 
in which the sale thereof may be permitted. And if the 
Secretary of the Treasury is satisfied that the proceeds 
of sale will not be sufficient to pay the costs thereof, he 
may order a destruction by the customs officers: Provided, 
That any merchandise forfeited under the customs laws, 
the sale or use of which is prohibited under any law of 
the United States or of any State, may be remanufac¬ 
tured, in the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury,

collector that any vessel, vehicle, merchandise, or bag¬ 
gage seized under the customs laws is liable to perish or 



234 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


to waste or to be greatly reduced in value by keeping, or 
that the expense of keeping the same is disproportionate 
to the value thereof, and the value of such vessel, vehi¬ 
cle, merchandise, or baggage as determined by the ap¬ 
praiser under section 606 of this Act, does not exceed 
$1,000, and such vessel, vehicle, merchandise, or baggage 
has not been delivered under bond, the collector shall, 
within twenty-four hours after the receipt by him of the 
appraiser’s return proceed forthwith to advertise and sell 
the same at auction under regulations to be prescribed 
by the Secretary of the Treasury. If such value of such 
vessel, vehicle, merchandise, or baggage exceeds $1,000 
the collector shall forthwith transmit the appraiser’s re¬ 
turn and his report of the seizure to the United States dis¬ 
trict attorney, who shall petition the court to order an 
immediate sale of such vessel, vehicle, merchandise, or 
baggage, and if the ends of justice require it the court 
shall order such immediate sale, the proceeds thereof to 
be deposited with the court to await the final determi¬ 
nation of the condemnation proceedings. Whether such 
sale be made by the collector or by order of the court, 
the proceeds thereof shall be held subject to claims of 
parties in interest to the same extent as the vessel, ve¬ 
hicle, merchandise, or baggage so sold would have been 
subject to such claim. 

Sec. 613. Disposition of proceeds. —Any person claiming 
any vessel, vehicle, merchandise, or baggage, or any in¬ 
terest therein, which has been forfeited and sold under 
the provisions of this Act, may at any time within three 
months after the date of sale apply to the Secretary 
of the Treasury if the forfeiture and sale was under the 
customs laws, or to the Secretary of Commerce if the for¬ 
feiture and sale was under the navigation laws, for a 
remission of the forfeiture and restoration of the proceeds 
of such sale, or such part thereof as may be claimed by 
him. Upon the production of satisfactory proof that the 
applicant did not know of the seizure prior to the decla¬ 
ration or condemnation of forfeiture, and was in such cir¬ 
cumstances as prevented him from knowing of the same, 



ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS 


235 


and that such forfeiture was incurred without any willful 
negligence or intention to defraud on the part of the ap¬ 
plicant, the Secretary of the Treasury or the Secretary 
of Commerce may order the proceeds of the sale, or any 
part thereof, restored to the applicant, after deducting 
the cost of seizure and of sale, the duties, if any, accru¬ 
ing on the merchandise or baggage, and any sum due 
on a lien for freight, charges, or contribution in general 
average that may have been filed. If no application for 
such remission or restoration is made within three months 
after such sale, or if the application be denied by the Sec¬ 
retary of the Treasury or the Secretary of Commerce, the 
proceeds of sale shall be disposed of as follows: 

(1) For the payment of all proper expenses of the pro¬ 
ceedings of forfeiture and sale, including expenses of seiz¬ 
ure, maintaining the custody of the property, advertising 
and sale, and if condemned by a decree of a district court 
and a bond for such costs was not given, the costs as 
taxed by the court; 

(2) For the satisfaction of liens for freight, charges, 
and contributions in general average, notice of which has 
been filed with the collector according to law; 

(3) For the payment of the duties accruing on such 
merchandise or baggage, if the same is subject to duty; 
and 

(4) The residue shall be deposited with the Treasurer 
of the United States as a customs or navigation fine. 

Sec. 614. Release. —If any person claiming an interest 
in any vessel, vehicle, merchandise, or baggage seized 
under the provisions of this Act offers to pay the value 
of such vessel, vehicle, merchandise, or baggage, as de¬ 
termined under section 606 of this Act, and it appears 
that such person has in fact a substantial interest therein, 
the collector may, subject to the approval of the Secre¬ 
tary of the Treasury if under the customs laws, or the 
Secretary of Commerce if under the navigation laws, ac¬ 
cept such offer and release the vessel, vehicle, merchan¬ 
dise, or baggage seized upon the payment of such value 



236 


ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

in section 613 of this Act. 

Sec. 615. Burden of proof. —In all suits or actions 
brought for the forfeiture of any vessel, vehicle, mer¬ 
chandise, or baggage seized under the provisions of any 
law relating to the collection of duties on imports or 
tonnage, where the property is claimed by any person, 
the burden of proof shall lie upon such claimant; and in 
all suits or actions brought for the recovery of the value 
of any vessel, vehicle, merchandise, or baggage seized 
for violation of any such law, the burden of proof shall 
be upon the defendant: Provided, That probable cause 
shall be first shown for the institution of such suit or 
action, to be judged of by the court. 

Sec. 616. Compromise of claims. —It shall not be lawful 
for any officer of the United States to compromise or 
abate any claim of the United States arising under the 
customs laws for any fine, penalty, or forfeiture, and any 
such officer who compromises or abates any such claim 
or attempts to make such compromise or abatement, or 
in any manner relieves or attempts to relieve any person, 
vessel, vehicle, merchandise, or baggage from any such 
fine, penalty, or forfeiture shall be guilty of a felony 
and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine 
of not more than $5,000 or by imprisonment for a term 
of not exceeding two years: Provided, That the Secretary 
of the Treasury shall have power to remit or mitigate any 
such fine, penalty, or forfeiture, or to compromise the 
same in the manner provided by law. 

Sec. 617. Same. —Upon a report by a collector, district 
attorney, or any special attorney or agent, having charge 
of any claim arising under the customs laws, showing the 
facts upon which such claim is based, the probabilities 
of a recovery and the terms upon which the same may 
be compromised, the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby 
authorized to compromise such claim, if such action shall 
be recommended by the Solicitor of the Treasury.

baggage a petition for the remission or mitigation of such

or the Secretary of Commerce, if he finds that such fine, 
penalty, or forfeiture was incurred without willful negli¬ 
gence or without any intention on the part of the peti¬ 
tioner to defraud the revenue or to violate the law, or 
finds the existence of such mitigating circumstances as 
to justify the remission or mitigation of such fine, penalty, 
or forfeiture, may remit or mitigate the same upon such 
terms and conditions as he deems reasonable and just, or 
order discontinuance of any prosecution relating thereto. 
In order to enable him to ascertain the facts, the Secre¬ 
tary of the Treasury may issue a commission to any 
special agent, collector, member of the Board of United 
States General Appraisers, or United States commissioner, 
to take testimony upon such petition: Provided, That

furnishes to a district attorney, to the Secretary of the 
Treasury, or to any customs officer original information

have a right of action against such officer, or his legal 
representatives, or against such person, or his legal rep¬

REFERENCES AND ABBREVIATIONS. 


“According to material” signifies that the duty is determined by the 
material of which an article is made. 

“The words ‘component material of chief value,’ wherever used in this 
section, shall be held to mean that component material which shall exceed 
in value any other single component material of the article ; and the value 
of each component material shall be determined by the ascertained value 
of such material in its condition as found in the article.” 

“See” means that the article is named in the tariff act but will be 
named and described under the title to which reference is made. This 
form is used to avoid repetitions of lengthy tables of duties or descrip¬ 
tions of merchandise. 

“As” means that the article is not named in the tariff act but bears 
the same classification as the article to which reference is made. This 
form, also, is used for the sake of brevity and as an aid in avoiding re¬ 
directions. 

“N. S. P. F.” means “not specially provided for,” and signifies that 
the classification stated applies to the article, unless more specifically 
enumerated elsewhere in the tariff. 

“R. S.” means United States Revised Statutes. 

In cases of doubt consult the tariff paragraph or section, as well as the 
decisions, referred to in the schedule of duties. 

“T. D.” means Treasury Decision. 

“A.” means Abstract of General Appraisers’ Decision.

1695—Effects, personal ; Passengers’ Baggage, T. D. 33,995. 

BAGGAGE DECLARATIONS. 

The law requires that every person entering the United 
States shall make a declaration and entry of per¬ 
sonal baggage. The senior member of a family 
present as a passenger may, however, declare for 
the entire family. 

A failure to declare articles acquired abroad and brought 
in as baggage renders the articles subject to for¬ 
feiture and the passengers liable to criminal prose¬ 
cution. 

The exact number of pieces of baggage accompanying 
a passenger must be stated in the declaration, in¬ 
cluding trunks, valises, boxes, hand bags, and pack¬ 
ages or bundles of every kind. Forms of baggage 
declarations will be furnished passengers by the steam¬ 
ship officers. The declaration should be prepared 
and signed at least one day before the expected 
arrival of the vessel. Declarations spoiled in prepara¬ 
tion should not be destroyed, but should be 
turned over to the purser, who will furnish a new 
blank. 

When the declaration has been prepared and signed the 
coupon at the bottom of the form must be de¬ 
tached and retained by the passenger and the 
declaration delivered to the ship’s officer designated 
to receive the same. After all the baggage and effects 
of the passenger have been landed, the coupon which 
has been retained must be presented at the in¬ 
spector’s desk and an inspector will then be detailed 
to examine the baggage. 

Passengers must acknowledge in person, on the pier, 
their signatures to the declarations. 

RETURNING RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED 
STATES. 

Returning residents of the United States must de¬ 
clare all articles acquired abroad, in their baggage 
or on their persons, whether by purchase, by

gift, or otherwise, and whether dutiable or free of 
duty. Exemption, however, will be allowed by cus¬ 
toms officers.of articles aggregating not over $100 in 
value, if suitable for personal or household use or 
as souvenirs or curios, and whether intended for the 
personal use of the passenger or as gifts or presents 
to others, provided the articles are not bought on 
commission for another person nor intended for sale. 
Articles so exempt from duty must, nevertheless, be 
declared. 

Cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, liquors, and foodstuffs cannot 
be included within the $100 exemption. Such exemp¬ 
tion should be confined to articles such as wearing 
apparel, made up or unmade, table linen, pictures, 
books, musical instruments, pipes, cutlery, china- 
ware, stationery, bric-a-brac, etc., T. D. 33,994. 

Not more than 50 cigars or 300 cigarettes or 3 lbs. of 
prepared smoking tobacco may be delivered free of 
duty and internal revenue tax to each adult passenger, 
male or female, T. D. 33,994. 

Articles belonging to one passenger cannot be included 
in the exemption of another. 

Use does not exempt from duty wearing apparel or other 
articles obtained abroad. Such articles which have 
been used abroad may, however, be specifically noted 
on the declaration and due allowance will be made 
by the appraising officers for depreciation through 
wear and use and duties charged upon the articles 
at their value in their condition as imported. 

Passengers must not deduct the $100 exemption in making 
out their declarations. Such deductions will be made 
by customs officers on the pier. 

All wearing apparel, personal and household effects taken 
out of the United States by residents shall be ad¬ 
mitted free of duty without regard to their value 
upon their identity being established. If remodeled, 
repaired, or improved abroad the cost of such re¬ 
modeling, repairing, or improvement must be declared, 
and receipted bills for such alterations should be 
presented. The cost of such repairs is subject to 
duty, but may be included by customs officers within 
the $100 exemption. If the cost or value of the 
repairs be not declared, the articles will be subject 
to duty upon their entire value. 

Citizens of the United States or persons who have at any 
time resided in the United States shall be deemed to 
be residents of the United States, unless they shall 
have abandoned their residence in this country and 
acquired an actual bona fide residence in a foreign 
country. Such citizens or former residents who de¬ 
clare as non-residents must present satisfactory evi¬ 
dence to the customs officers upon the pier that 
they have given up their residence in the United 
States and have become bona fide residents of a 
foreign country.

Par. 

The residence of a wife follows that of the husband, 
and the residence of a minor child follows that 

of its parents. 

The examination of baggage will be facilitated and diffi¬ 
culties avoided if receipted bills for foreign pur¬ 

chases be presented, and if all articles acquired 
abroad be packed separately in one or more trunks. 

NON-RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES. 

Non-residents of the United States must declare all arti¬ 
cles in their baggage or on their persons which do not 
constitute wearing apparel, articles of personal 

adornment, toilet articles, or similar personal effects, 
whether intended for their personal use or for 

others. They must also declare all articles of 
wearing apparel, jewelry, and other articles of per¬ 
sonal adornment, toilet articles, and similar effects 
when not owned by them, or when intended for 
other persons or for sale. 

HOUSEHOLD EFFECTS. 

Household effects, such as furniture, table linen, bed 
linen, table ware, etc., imported as baggage must be 
declared. If shown to the satisfaction of the customs 
officers to have been actually owned and used abroad 
by the passenger not less than one year and not 
intended for any other person nor for sale, such 
effects will be admitted free of duty. If not so 
owned and used abroad, duties must be paid thereon, 
unless included in the $100 exemption allowed re¬ 
turning residents. 

CONTESTED VALUATION. 

Passengers dissatisfied with values placed upon dutiable 
articles by the customs officers on the pier may de¬ 
mand a reexamination. Application therefor should 
be made to the officers in charge immediately. If, 
for any reason, this course is impracticable, the pack¬ 
ages containing the articles should be left in customs 
custody and application for reappraisement inade to 
the collector of customs in writing within 10 days 
after the original appraisement. No request for 
reappraisement can be entertained after the articles 
have been removed from customs custody. 

Examination of any baggage may be postponed if the 
passenger requests the officer taking his declaration to 
have the baggage sent to the appraiser’s stores. 

Currency or certified checks only can be accepted in pay¬ 
ment of duties, but upon request baggage will be 
retained on the pier for 24 hours to enable the 
owner to secure currency or certified checks.

1460—Nonenumerated articles, manufactured of two or more materials: 

On articles, not enumerated, manufactured of two or 

more materials, the duty shall be assessed at the 
highest rate at which the same would be chargeable 
if composed wholly of the component material thereof 
of chief value; and the words “component material 
of chief value,” wherever used in this Act, shall be 
held to mean that component material which shall 
exceed in value any other single component ma¬ 
terial of the article; and the value of each com¬ 
ponent material shall be determined by the ascer¬ 
tained value of such material in its condition as 

found in the article. If two or more rates of 

duty shall be applicable to any imported article, it 
shall pay duty at the highest of such rates.

observations and discoveries in nature and experi¬

crease the number of articles covered. Ibid., and

THE METRIC SYSTEM. 


The fundamental unit of the metric system is the METER (the unit 
of length). From this the units of mass (GRAMM) and capacity 
(LITER) are derived. All other units are the decimal subdivisions or 
multiples of these. These three units are simply related, so that for all 
practical purposes the volume of one kilogram of water (one liter) is 
equal to one cubic decimeter.
